St. Loup sur Semouse
Today is going much better than yesterday, which I'll get to
later (briefly). At 9:55 AM August 15, 1997 crossed the divide
between the North Sea basin and the Mediterranian basin at 1044
km between Les Arches and Plombiers les Bains. Tout les jour les
bon temps, normal great weather and much less humidity
today. A long climb to begin with, then following the
Augronne, Semouse and Batard down to Vesoul. White roads all the
way today.
Vesoul
This hostel is right on the city lake and the whole region has
turned out for a giant fireworks display after a sunny day at the
beach. Today is August 15, the feast of the assumption and the
biggest weekend of the summer. I've been lucky and been able to
book into Besancon, Pontarlier, and Le Rousses without waiting,
so I should reach Geneve by Tuesday or Wednesday after touring
the Jura and Haut Doubs.
